^ i agree, from the looks of it, 50mm would be even worse.

Either the bridge is a bit far to the left, or the pickup's a bit far to the right, but it's the correct spacing.  If you had a 50mm pickup on there now the low E would miss the polepiece altogether.


on mine its the high E  :?
either way, doesn't sound different
and the local guitar tech said its no real issue

It sounds alright to me, but I've never played a BKP or a pickup with wrong spacing so I'm unsure.


looks aligned to me
you can bend the extremities to push it to the left (i did it)

Alright guys, thanks for the inputs, I've tried the guitar out and I really can't hear that anything is wrong. I'm having second thoughts about the pickup itself though, so I think I'll send Tim another email.
In short, I like how thick it is, and I like it's cleans, but I'd like some more chug. AV Warpig? And how long after I recevied the pickup can I send it back? Maybe I'm better of trying to sell it and buy a brand new one?

Oh, nevermind, the absence of chug was mostly because of my still quite poor palmmute technique with the Edge bridge, lol.
I'll keep this pickup for now, it sounds great. :)


WFD: No man, it came like this from the factory as far as I know, the finish is called TKS if I remember correctly, Transparent Black "Something"? (not satin, cause it's really gloss as you can see). It's more or less natural with a slight black burst and natural binding.
